Zookeeper
Working with animals is a virtuous profession. Working at a modern zoo is one of the best ways to get closer to animals and to help us to understand more about animals and their behaviour. Zookeepers have very close relationships with the animals in their care. Modern zookeepers use the experience they gain from animals in captivity to help ensure the wellbeing of animals in the wild. Zoos and zookeeping is used to try and help understand endangered animals and to raise funds for projects that will help their survival. These films offer an insight into the world of zoos and zookeeping with a focus on apes and gorillas.
